Sample:
The bar chart shows the proportion of the UK’s male and female population, categorized in seven age groups, who consumed meat-free food on a daily basis in the year 2006. The data suggest that with age, the rate of participation rose up to the age of 64, after which lower rates were reported. It is also salient that females dominated all age groups, except for the most senior cohort.
The rate of participation for the youngest males was 15%, increasing with age, which more than doubled among those aged 55 to 64. The only deviation in the data can be observed in the 35-44 and 45-54 cohorts, in which the rate remained fixed at about 23% without showing any correlation with age. The two oldest groups, however, showed lower levels of participation in the program, with 26% and 25% in the 65-74 and 75, respectively.
By contrast, the healthy diet profile for females differed somewhat. While the youngest group showed a slightly higher percentage than their male counterpart, with age, the involvement of women increased and exhibited the highest tendency among women aged 55-64, at 35%. In older cohorts, similar to males, the tendency to consume fruit and vegetables diminished, as the most senior women showed the same figure as their male counterparts.
